Frosting Her Christmas Cookies: A Holiday Romantic Comedy

Frost Brothers, Book 3

By: Alina Jacobs

Narrated by: Beth Roeg, Scott Rider

Dear Santa, I do not want a Frost brother for Christmas.

In fact, I do not want anything for Christmas — no annoying Christmas carols, no holiday family drama, and no last-minute presents.

And I certainly don’t want to be a bachelorette in The Great Christmas Bake-Off. Yes, in the spirit of holiday commercialism, the bake-off is also a date-off, and Jonathan Frost is the prize.

I should be hiding away with wine and snacks while waiting for Christmas to end. Instead, I’m wearing a reindeer mascot costume and pretending I’m oh-so-excited to meet New York City’s most eligible billionaire bachelor! Just look at those blue eyes and six-foot-five-tall frame! Don’t you want to take him home for the holidays?!

Barf.

Unlike the other bachelorettes, I refused to debase myself and stroke some billionaire’s ego.

Instead, I threw a candy cane dildo at his stupidly handsome face.

Then I laughed when he yelled at me.

Of course, Jonathan couldn’t take the hint. He came around offering to put a little frosting on my Christmas cookies.

I attempted to shank him with a spatula.

He got offended and said that as a judge on The Great Christmas Bake-Off, he was just trying to help.

Sure…

Not that I’m looking for holiday romance.

Christmas is already a stressful time of the year without adding a billionaire to the mix.

Between dodging bake-off sabotaging cousins, applying for a long-shot prestigious museum internship, and trying to survive being broke in Manhattan, I’m up to my black lipstick in my own special nightmare before Christmas.

And it’s making me wound tighter than a nutcracker.

So when Jonathan offers to put some frosting on my cookies — and a few other ornament-shaped parts — his washboard abs and sexy smirk start to seem like the perfect stress relief.

Especially when he offers himself all wrapped up in a bow.

So no, dear Santa, I do not want Jonathan Frost, but I won’t say no to his Christmas package!

Frosting Her Christmas Cookies is a stand-alone holiday romantic comedy. If you love Christmas baking, hilarious holiday hijinks, and a big, thick Christmas stocking, then pick up this full-length, steamy romance novel! There are no cliff-hangers, but there is a very merry (Christmas!) ever after!

to much sex decriptions

The story line was decent. I didn't appreciated the explicit sex details which took away from the story and not necessary.

bake-off/bachelor competition, enemies to lovers

Holiday bake-off/bachelor competition, enemies to lovers, crazy family and hot spice!

I was so excited to see Morticia!!! Love her Wednesday Adams feel.

I listened to the audiobook of this, and loved it! I think that hearing the voices gives you so much more as a reader. You really can feel the emotions. You connect much quicker to the characters as well. These narrators were top notch.

I love this type of book. No angst, comedy, hot billionaires with hot spice thrown in. Nice and light. Is it for everyone? No. But it is my cup of hot chocolate. I don't want to be sad or anxious with the books I read.

This is not the first book in the series, but it can be read as a complete stand-alone. However I think you will get more out of it if you have read the other books as you have met some of the characters before. But don’t let that deter you. This can be a stand-alone. But it will make you want to read all the other books!

A fun and funny read

Alina Jacobs has released the next Frost Brothers book!

Morticia and Jonathan were so entertaining. They are fairly opposite but there's an attraction between them that they can't ignore.

Just like Alina's other books there is a lot of hilarious dialogue and moments mixed in with the romance. It makes for a story that will keep you laughing and put a smile on your face. I love reading holiday books leading up to Christmas and this was a fun one.

Being truthful is quite helpful in relationships.

I really liked this story. It was entertaining and enjoyable for the most part, although there were times I wanted to smack people upside their heads. The characters were interesting and likable with several exceptions that I personally felt belonged where Morticia was sent. Lilith was supportive as a sister, but sometimes maybe a little too much. Emma was a great friend for Morticia but sometimes she felt a bit pushy. Morticia and Jonathan were opposites in many ways. Jonathan definitely seemed drawn to the differences between him and Morticia. I liked both of them but also wanted to smack both of them at times. I also did a lot of laughing at them! There are plenty of feels in this story. I liked the ending but I do wish there was an epilogue further out.

Listening to this audiobook was also entertaining and enjoyable even when I wanted to strangle a couple of the characters. The narrators did a wonderful job of bringing the characters and story alive. I recommend listening to the audiobook as well as reading the book itself.

Hilarious

Another fantastic and funny engaging story. Every story and family gets better with each one told!

Possibly the worst book I’ve read

It’s not blatantly misogynistic or racist or has a human trafficker as the hero. So in that way it’s not the worst book. It’s written in English by someone who knows and understands the language, so in that way it’s not the worst.

However, in terms of teeth grinding utter stupidity it takes the cake (pun somewhat intended).

The basic plot is awesome. It makes sense, great for the holidays, good general opposites attract story.

Then it adds another plot line, then another, then another, then another. Coco Chanel is rolling over in her grave.

And every non-main character (except the man and woman’s direct siblings) is evil and stupid. But stupid in a way that doesn’t make sense.

Her cousin is sabotaging her and other contestants but even though there are cameras there every minute no one notices her.

It’s the laziest dumbest book I’ve read this year. I can’t believe this was published AND got an audiobook.

Most of the time (other than human trafficker, racist, misogynistic stuff) I’ll just say a book is not my cup of tea. This is one of the few I feel like the author should be embarrassed about.

It’s the first of hers I read and I usually want to give people a second chance if I just don’t enjoy a book. But this is just so so SO bad.

I’m asking Audible for my money back. I don’t even think I can finish this.

Oh and PS yesterday this was the worst thing in the book. Today I almost forgot to mention it: using nude photos of someone without their consent is monstrous. Just because it’s a guy doesn’t make it ok. The main character is a hypocrite and a terrible person.

Morticia & Johnathan

Sad to say that though there were some funny and sad parts and the sexiness though it was slow burn was probably the better part of the story. I didn't care for the Heroes arrogance or the Heroines I don't give a shit attitude, made both unlikable the drama at the end was ridiculous with the whining of the secondary characters all veying for the Hero including a married woman and all the ladies wanting him were related was too weird and just wrong. I did like the male narrator, and the female narrator was perfect for the emotionless Heroine..

Soap opera

Just ridiculous and not great story. The performance was good but too whinny for me
